Wendy is a given name generally given to females in English-speaking countries.
The name is found in United States records from the 19th century; the name Wendy appeared over twenty times in the U.S. Census of 1880. In Britain, Wendy appeared as a boy's name in the 1881 census of England, and was occasionally used as a diminutive for the Welsh Gwendolyn. It was also used as a surname in Britain from at least the 17th century. However, its popularity as a girl's name is attributed to the character Wendy Darling from the 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie. The name was inspired by young Margaret Henley, daughter of Barrie's poet friend W. E. Henley. With the common childhood difficulty pronouncing Rs, Margaret reportedly used to call him 'my fwiendy-wendy'.
The name Wendy is sometimes considered a variation of the (originally Polish) name Wanda.
Various Chinese rulers have held the name and title Emperor Wen, which in Chinese is read Wen(-)di (文帝). Chinese women with the same or similar-sounding characters as their given names often anglicise their names as Wendi or Wendy (e.g. Wendi Deng, Wendy Kweh).

The BET Awards were established in 2001 by the Black Entertainment Television network to celebrate African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment over the past year.
The awards are presented annually, and are broadcast live on BET. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a televised ceremony.
The BET Award Trophy was inspired by three words - aspire, ascend, achieve. The BET Award Trophy was designed by artist/sculptor Carlos "Mare139" Rodriguez. OutKast won the first BET award. In 2007, Society Awards, the New York firm who manufacturers the award, enhanced the quality of the trophy design using plated steel and black crystal.

Daybreak, another new day shines
the school dance is coming in
She's giving dad the 'Please can I,
Charlie is taking me'
‘Charlie that worthless son of a gun
You better ask your mom'
She said: 'O dad give me a break,
a miracle is what it takes
If you say yes, she can't say no'
And dad said; 'Allright, go,
but there's a curfew and behave,
don't spend all your money
O and Wendy? Be home 11.30
Wendy, you better listen to your daddy'
11.30, home she is
'Mom, dad, I'm going to bed'
Kiss, kiss and goes upstairs,
She’s sneaking out the window,
tearing up her rental dress
Her friends are waiting down the street
'Hey Charlie, Tom and Emma, here is Wendy,
brought a bit of brandy'
Wendy listen to your Daddy
Safe sex and liquor in the punch
Hangs out with Charlie and the bunch
Wendy in the backseat of a chevy
Supposedly the night is gone
Wendy had lots of fun
But daddy screams: 'What have you done,
you're grounded 'till your twenty-one'
Wendy, you should have listened to your daddy
